Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 540 - 36 Meal Replacement

Chapter 540: Chapter 36 Meal Replacement

Anna’s command to “Get out!” scared Clara so much that she immediately set the tray aside and ran off as fast as her legs could carry her.

Yan Yu watched, dumbstruck, and thought to himself, when did you develop such an Overlord’s Dominance? Why didn’t I know about this?

“That little wench did it on purpose,” Anna said bitterly, then turned her head and resumed her smile, “Let’s continue talking about the lingerie…”

“Let’s not talk about lingerie for the moment,” Yan Yu raised his hand to stop her, “It was you who ordered her to bring the food over, right?”

“Yes,” Anna replied calmly, “But she entered without knocking, which is against the rules, so I scolded her. By the way, she didn’t say anything strange to you on the way here, did she?”

Yan Yu said without any change in expression:

“Strange things?”

“Yes,” Anna said with a smile, “Like teasing you, flirting with you, or trying to seduce you with ambiguous words.”

“She did not, but why do you ask?”

“Hehe,” Anna’s smile turned cold as she took a sip of wine and spoke somberly, “Those old bastards don’t trust that you only get along well with me, so they’ve arranged for several young and beautiful girls, claiming they’re to be my ‘sisters,’ but in reality, they’re planning to use the honey trap on you.”

“So you’re jealous,” Yan Yu realized.

“That’s right.” Anna slammed the table forcefully and shouted angrily, “It was I who came first! And they’re not even as pretty as me, let alone as strong, yet they dare to covet the man I set my sights on? They’re outright defying the Heavenly Gang, a bunch of foolish temptresses!”

“Calm down,” Yan Yu said with a wry smile, “You are the Chief Witch of the Witch’s Group after all. I don’t think the Elders’ Council would be foolish enough to offend you outright. It’s probably just as a precaution.”

“Humph,” Anna finally suppressed her anger, then suddenly frowned and stared at Yan Yu, asking, “Are you taking delight in this?”

“Delight in what?” Yan Yu replied, spreading his hands innocently.

“Don’t be deceived by those temptresses and their beauty,” Anna sneered, “I’ll tell you, many witches in the group hold a belief in the superiority of women over men. You might think you can start a harem here, but in their eyes, you’re nothing more than a communal human-shaped massager. Once they have their way with you, taking turns to have their fun, I’m afraid you’ll be stumbling with every step you take!”

“Should I leave then?” Yan Yu feigned dissatisfaction and stood up, “I’ve come all this long way to help you, not to start some damn harem.”

“Ahem, Yan Yu,” Anna quickly softened her tone and apologized, “I’m not doubting you, just reminding you. Most of the witches are not easy to deal with. Take Clara, who brought you here, for example. She looks like a sweet young girl, right? In fact, she’s a ruthless killer who doesn’t even blink at taking lives and sees ordinary people as no more than livestock. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”

“I’ve already said,” Yan Yu replied helplessly, “I’m here specifically to make sure you don’t get defeated by that Peter. As for whatever the Elders’ Council is plotting, I don’t care and it doesn’t concern me.”

“That’s good to hear,” Anna said, not fully convinced but knowing Yan Yu had given his word, she didn’t press the matter further.

She then took out a tablet, pulled up the corresponding intelligence data, and discussed it with Yan Yu.

“That Peter, we’ve sent people to buy his information from the west. It’s confirmed that his profession is a Cleric, wielding a two-meter-long Golden Claymore — it seems much of his strength comes from this sword.”

“So this is a Magic Treasure,” Yan Yu mused.

“Right, a Magic Treasure only Clerics can use,” Anna continued, “Not only can it be used for close combat, but it can also summon swords made of light that can be hurled at the enemy from afar.”

She opened a video which showed Peter in combat with a Transcendent. The footage appeared to be taken with a smartphone, with shaky camera work and poorly adjusted focus, making it hard to see clearly.

Just as Yan Yu leaned in to look closer, he heard Anna say:

“The tablet screen is too small, why don’t you sit here and watch.”

She made room next to her and gestured for Yan Yu to sit with her.

Without being coy, Yan Yu sat down closely next to her, and they continued to analyze the battle video.

Anna nestled close to him, her mind racing. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through her mind, and a thought surfaced:

“They’ve all set honey traps. Why can’t I use one, too?”

“Peter’s speed isn’t particularly fast, but his explosive power is strong,” Yan Yu commented while watching the video, “From a standstill to a full-speed assault, it takes him less than half a second. Without mental preparation, being seized by his first move like that, one is likely to suffer a great loss.”

“Yes,” Anna leaned in slightly closer, starting to rub against Yan Yu’s left arm, “You see, when he makes his assault, there’s a faint golden light flickering over him. He must be using some kind of spell for instantaneous acceleration.”

“Right,” Yan Yu, apparently oblivious to the soft touch on his arm, continued, “The golden claymore is also formidable, capable of cleaving a werewolf’s body in two—I recall that the hardness of a werewolf’s skin after berserking is truly frightening.”

“It could also be a constraint against evil spirits,” Anna kept rubbing against Yan Yu’s left arm, “Werewolves, vampires, and the demons summoned by witches all inherently possess evil attributes. It would make sense for them to be restrained by holy magic treasures, right?”

“To be on the safe side, we still shouldn’t let him get close,” Yan Yu suggested, “Keep as much distance as possible, and attack from afar.”

“He should be able to predict that,” Anna almost fully pressed her body against him, her voice beginning to waver, “I heard he’s gotten his hands on Icarus’s Boots… do you know what those are?”

“I know,” Yan Yu, ignoring the clinging warmth, said calmly, “Winged Boots. You wear them on your feet and you can fly.”

So-called Icarus’s Boots were a simple flight magic treasure, developed specifically by various European countries to counter a force of Transcendents who all practiced Sword Control. From the outside, they looked like a pair of boots woven out of wax-like feathers. If someone wore them, they could tread on air as if it were solid ground, leveraging it to rapidly soar into the sky—it was very suitable for close-combat professions that could not fly.

“But if Peter can fly, our witches’ aerial advantage will be nullified,” Anna whispered in Yan Yu’s ear, resting her head on his shoulder.

“The Winged Boots have a fatal flaw,” Yan Yu said blandly.

“What flaw?”

“Turning is extremely unresponsive,” Yan Yu explained, “If you push off forcefully with both feet, you’ll charge in one direction, and it’s very hard to stop or turn sharply mid-course.”

“I see,” Anna nodded, “Then I know how to deal with him. But tell me, don’t you feel anything with me pressed up against you like this?”

“What do you want me to feel?” Yan Yu asked with a chuckle.

Sorry, but your figure is indeed great, but I’ve already been preemptively inoculated with a stronger dose by Zhao Yuanzhen.

I’m already mentally immune!

Anna, unaware that Yan Yu’s will had been specially trained, thought he was indifferent to her physical allure and felt an inexplicable sense of loss and displeasure.

But then she thought, if a man gets hot and bothered by just a touch, what separates him from a rutting beast?

No way would I fancy him!

The less you fall for my charms, the more it rouses my interest to completely conquer you!

Just you wait and see, man!

“Okay, then. I was worried you’d be shy, but since you don’t mind, I won’t hold back either,” Anna said, nestling directly into Yan Yu’s arms, her voice coquettish, “There are many more videos in the folder. Let’s study them closely tonight~”

“Do we really have to watch the videos in this position?” Yan Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I have a deeper purpose in doing this,” Anna explained calmly and gently, “You see, the Elders’ Council over there wants to assign you a mistress, right? As long as you and I show a lovey-dovey, inseparable front, to avoid arousing my possessiveness and hostility, those little vixens wouldn’t dare to come and harass you anymore. Yan Yu, you don’t want to start a harem within our Amur Witch’s Group and become a tool for witches’ relief, do you?”

That seemed to make some sense, but something didn’t quite feel right?

After careful consideration and seeing that Anna resembled the Enchantress a great deal, Yan Yu decided to consider it as having a meal replacement, which didn’t seem like a bad idea after all.
